Ernest Jones (uk AD) - waiting list

[paddy_crow]

If the store doesn't have what you're looking for, go someplace else. Agreeing to be put on a wait list to fork over a large sum of money on a luxury item is crazy.

There's an old saying in the construction business- He that holds the money holds the power.

This is absolutely correct!!

What's even worse is having to speak with some of the people who work in the AD's. I mean, what happened to the store assistant being happy for selling an expensive watch? It's almost like they feel you should be grateful for them adding your name to the waiting list.

It's like they are fed up with people asking the same thing all the time about the SubC and it's reflected in the way they speak with you.

Naturally I give as good as I get...

Will they accept CC or account transfer?

[Willgotthepower]

Yep...payed a £1000 they said if I can pay the remainder within six months and with that they put my G serial sub c in it's box into a clear bag and put it in the safe...HAPPY DAYS

I'd prefer to pay by CC, that way I get the points. Double plus

All over??

Mappin and Webb - Regent St and Bond St
Watches of Switzerland - Brompton Road & Bond St
Ernest Jones - Oxford St & Kingston
Time 2 - Hyde Park & Westfield

These are the ones who claim they DON'T have the Sub-C right now.

Where did you see it?!

then you haven't been to their stores in person. M&W Regent St had Sub C and GM, Rolex in Self had Sub C and i believe Rolex on Bond St had too.

oh and Wempe on Bond St has Sub Cs as well but they only come out if you're a serious buyer and don't look like someone who will race down to Burlington and sell them

by the time you read this all the Sub Cs i saw are probably on the wrists of Chinese tourists

I called them on Friday lunch time. I forgot to mention Wempe - Called them too - You don't even want to know what the woman who answered the phone said in terms of expectations of getting it in to stock.

Ha ha genuinely no offence but I don't buy that, plus I've seen way too many posts on the subject of the elusive Sub in London.

So what... There is now a vetting system where they have to deem you as a serious buyer to bring one out?

I don't see how much more serious I can be then to call them telling them I'm based at London Bridge and can be with them in 20 minutes to purchase?!

So, I take it you went to each of those stores you mentioned and asked to see a SubC because you wanted to buy one?? Otherwise that would contradict what you are saying about being a serious buyer, unless you bought one from each of the stores you told me about!

If you didn't, then I guess you are one of many who perhaps fuel this ridiculous behaviour of these store assistants...

BOOOO to you!! Shame on you!!
